Description: Presents for the first time Harry Furniss's hugely successful illustrated lecture of the same name.
Review Quotes: "In their introduction, Gareth Cordery and Joseph S. Meisel rightly describe Furniss as arguably the most significant and prolific British political cartoonist of the late Victorian and Edwardian era. Widely popular at the time, Furniss has been subsequently neglected. The editors show how Furniss embraced the technology of the period by taking advantage of the newly popular magic lantern, adapting his drawing style to suit techniques such as photo-processing and exploiting the potential of the lecture circuit overseas." --Colin Seymour-Ure, Emeritus Professor, University of Kent
